Bachelorette is coming to Australia in October as a guest of Melbourne Festival. Described variously as a one-woman Animal Collective and a female Syd Barrett, Bachelorette (AKA Annabel Alpers) is set to transport you with her singular brand of psychedelic computer folk pop, comprising expansive, layered loops and radiant multi-tracked harmonies. Tickets on sale now.
Wed 19 Oct: Bachelorette supported by Rat Vs Possum @ The Toff. Tickets $25 from Moshtix 1300 438 849. Over 18s event only.
The music of Bachelorette (AKA Annabel Alpers) is what might happen were you to toss 70s psychedelia, 80s electro-pop, 90s shoegaze and 00s electronica into a blender and turn it to ‘high’. A strange, enveloping tangle of synthesised melody and claustrophobic texture built around Alpers’ raw and endlessly multi-layered voice, Bachelorette will take you on a sonic journey to a universe sustained by the logic of androids, cities, waveforms and love.
Tribal, quirky, anthemic and rambunctious, Melbourne four-piece Rat Vs Possum make jumping electro-rock. Filled with psychedelic synth warps, dance-ready drums, offbeat harmonies and a ready-toparty attitude, they are the sound of the future filtered through the riffs of the past.
